Some insider intel would be welcome; I can only find rumors online.

Almost all the publicity occurred after the announcement of the plan, especially during 2016, while the minimum was still $60K. Recent coverage in NYT and Forbes mention that Price "told them he was raising everyone’s salary" and "committed to giving every employee" 70K but don't specify whether the program was ever fully implemented or discontinued.

Given the amount of attention and praise the company received for the program, it's hard to imagine why they would drop mentions of a generous minimum from their web site, most job listings, and Twitter (which mentions a "living wage").
